Bruce hurriedly left the room after he heard that.
Bruce thought, “Henry rarely calls me. He must have important messages if he calls me.”
Bruce picked up the phone and said, “Hello?”
On the other end of the phone, Henry said anxiously, “Yes, Mr. Everett. Mrs. Everett doesn’t feel well
and wants you to go back to the Everett mansion
immediately.”
“What’s wrong with grandma?” asked Bruce.
“Mrs. Everett’s condition has returned, and the doctor has already arrived.”
When Bruce heard the butler’s words, he immediately felt anxious and said, “I’m going back home
now!”
“Noted, Mr. Everett.”
After hanging up the phone, Bruce was about to leave in a hurry. However, he suddenly thought of
Joanna.
Then Bruce went back into the ward.
Bruce said, “Joanna, I’ve got a bit of an emergency. I need to rush back home. You…”
Joanna was upset about Bruce’s existence. Hearing Bruce’s words, Joanna replied coldly, “Just head
home now. No need to worry about me!”
Bruce ordered, “Cora, Kody, you guys stay here and take good care of Joanna. Call me if necessary.”
“Yes, Mr. Everett. No worries.”
Bruce did not have time to say anything else. Thus, he leaned over to kiss Joanna’s forehead and said,
“I’m leaving now. Take care!”
Joanna pouted and did not reply to Bruce.
Joanna thought, “It sounds like Bruce is saying goodbye to his pet dog when he goes out. He’s always
self–centered and doesn’t care about my feelings.”
Bruce could not afford another minute here, so he hurriedly left.
In Bruce’s eyes, nothing was more important than his grandmother’s health. Margaret was Bruce’s only
family member, and that was why Bruce always followed Margaret’s words.
Bruce rushed back to Greyport and arrived at the Everett mansion.
Bruce asked, “How’s grandma?”
Henry answered with a grip expression, “The doctor came by and gave Mrs. Everett an injection. She’s
stable now. However, it was really emergent just
now.”
When Bruce heard this, he felt even more uneasy. Then he walked to bed nervously.
Margaret was still on a ventilator and had yet to wake up.
Several family doctors were observing Margaret at the side of the bed.
Margaret’s heart was not in good condition, and she had blood clots. If ordinary people had these diseases, they would not last too long.
Margaret spent countless money to maintain her life. The next few days, she would have to accept the
injection of expensive regenerative stem cells and
nutrients.
12:51 Fri, 23 Jun.
These were not the things that ordinary people could afford. A bottle of regenerative stem cells cost
over 2 million dollars, and a bottle of nutrient cost more than 200 thousand dollars.
“Grandma, how do you feel?” asked Bruce. He grabbed his grandmother’s hand tightly, worrie
Perhaps sensing the arrival of her grandson, Margaret opened her eyes slowly and said in a hoarse
voice, “Bruce?”
Then, Margaret indicated a doctor to remove the ventilator for her.
The doctor at the side immediately understood and quickly took off the ventilator.
Bruce said, “Grandma, you should probably put on the ventilator.”
Margaret looked at Bruce lovingly and said slowly, “It’s okay. I want to talk to you.”
Bruce tried his best to squeeze a smile and said, “I’ll talk to you all day after you recover.”
Margaret smiled and asked, “Why haven’t you come over for the past two days?”
“Oh, I went to Mossbourne for a business trip,” replied Bruce.
Margaret gently stroked Bruce’s head and said earnestly, “Is everything okay between Roxanne and
you? Are you good now?”
Bruce rolled his eyes and replied, “Grandma, we are good.”
Margaret said, “You already grew up. It’s not a bad idea to get married earlier. Ask Roxanne to come
over. I want to see her. It’s time to give something to the future Mrs. Everett.”
“No problem,” said Bruce. He did not want to go against his grandmother’s wishes. Therefore, Bruce
would agree no matter what Margaret said.
Actually, Bruce wanted to cancel the engagement with Roxanne a long time ago. However, Bruce was
afraid that his grandmother would suffer a blow, so he delayed it for so many days.
Margaret continued, “I always expect to have a great–grandson. From my current condition, it seems
it’s already good enough for me to see you get
married.”
Bruce replied, “Grandma, stop these inauspicious words! You can definitely celebrate your 100th
birthday. You can not only have a great–grandson but also a great–great–grandson.”
Margaret smiled when she heard Bruce’s words.
Margaret knew that her body was in a terrible state now. However, she did not know how many days
she could have even if she spent all her money on
her health.
That was why Margaret wanted to see her grandson get married before she died.
On the other side.
Gavin looked at Roxanne excitedly and said, “Roxy, I fixed the car!”
Roxanne asked, “Really? You had it fixed so fast?”
Gavin uncovered the hood and pointed at the repaired Maybach, saying, “Look, it’s as good as new!”
Roxanne glanced at it and realized that the car was fixed. Roxanne asked, “I asked you to take it to a
car dealer. How come they finished the repair so
soon?”
“Well, it will cost a lot if I take it to a car dealer. Besides, I have to fill out all kinds of documents. Look, I
only spent 1,000 dollars to repair the car.”
When Roxanne heard this, she immediately shouted angrily, “What? Did you take the car to a random
car repair station?”
12:51 Fri, 23 Jun.
Gavin said, “Relax. My friend has been repairing cars for more than ten years. He can repair any car.
“This car’s front cover is dented, and a layer of paint is chipped.
“It will become as good as new as long as we fix the dented part and spray a layer of paint. See?“,
Roxanne angrily stomped. Then she rushed to check the front of the car.
At first glance, the car seemed perfect.
However, if looked closer, it was like sewing a rough patch on an expensive satin. Although the color
was similar, anyone could tell the difference.
Expensive cars like Maybach needed to send to the car dealer for repainting if they had small damage.
The paint emitted a pungent smell and had a color
deviation.
Ordinary people could tell it, not to mention Bruce Everett.
Roxanne said, “You… You piss me off! It would be even better to let it stay the same!”
Gavin quickly held Roxanne’s shoulder and comforted her, “Roxy, don’t be angry! You know Bruce, do
you? He has so many cars and is so busy with work. How can he have the time to check the car
carefully?
hose rich people have seen lots of luxury things. Bruce won’t notice it if I give him a fake one. Relax.
We’ll be fine!“,
hearing Gavin’s words, Roxanne angrily stomped and felt her lungs were about to explode.
However, Roxanne could do nothing now since the car was repaired like this. Thus, she said, “Alright.
Let’s forget about it. I hope I can get away with it!”
Gavin comforted, “Roxy, don’t be angry. We’ll be fine.”
After saying that, Gavin could not help hugging Roxanne and touching her with his hands.
Roxanne pushed Gavin angrily and said, “This is an inappropriate time for it! Why are you still in the
mood for it? Go away!”
Gavin murmured, “Roxy, please, let me make this right. I’ll show you what I got tonight and satisfy Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
you.”
As he spoke, Gavin carried Roxanne into the house.
Gavin had no strengths except for his skills. He could make Roxanne feel really good.
Therefore, even if Gavin was poor and unsuccessful, Roxanne was still willing to hang out with him.
After all, this was Roxanne’s first man. From her first time until now, Gavin had turned Roxanne from
an ignorant young girl to an experienced woman, They had been together and did that many times.
Roxanne was satisfied each time..
Soon, heavy breathing arose in the room.
“Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.”
Roxanne’s phone cuddenly vibrated.
Roxanne intended not to pick up the phone since she was in the middle of pleasure.
However, Roxanne realized it was Bruce calling because she had set a specific ringtone for him.
Roxanne hurriedly gestured for Gavin to stop when she realized it was Bruce calling.
“Hi, Bruce!”
Bruce’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Where are you now?”
12:51 Fri, 23 Jun.
Gavin knew that it was Bruce. He felt jealous and deliberately gave Roxanne a thrusting.
Roxanne almost shouted out loud. She did her best to hold it and replied, “Oh, I’m hanging out
“Okay. Grandma wants to see you. Send me your location, and I’ll send someone to pick you up
“Oh, oh! No, thanks. I just had the car fixed. I can go there by myself,”
“Alright then.” After that, Bruce hung up the phone.
However, Bruce vaguely sensed something was wrong because Roxanne sounded weird and
nervous.
Roxanne’s voice used to be cheerful and crisp when she received a phone call from Bruce, but her
voice sounded hoarse just now.
After Roxanne hung up the phone, she cuffed Gavin in exasperation, shouting, “You’ll be dead if you
ruin my business. Go away now!”
“Roxy, we haven’t finished it yet!”
“Get lost!”
“Are you rushing to see Bruce?”
“Yeah!”
Roxanne pushed Gavin away. Then she quickly put on her clothes and went to the mirror to put on
some makeup.
After that, Roxanne drove away.
When Roxanne came out of Gavin’s house, some gangsters were on the streets. They all widened
their eyes when they saw Roxanne walk out of Gavin’s place as if they saw a superstar.
